The first disk golf course is in the town I lived in and adjacent to where I worked. Only tried it a few times although I do like frisbees. One in not 'supposed' to drink in that public park. I like the idea of spontaneously setting up a course, and carrying drinks.

If you are buying, not leasing, the next one you could buy a bit early, if its a real good deal. Can even sell a lease although I have no problem with an extra car. Some years back we leased a Miata for a year because we were not sure how it would work (we had a young son) loved it, found a...

Loved Strange New Worlds, will probably watch the new prequel.

Interesting discussion, I'll have to ask my musican son (percussion, don't ask) who has an income stream from transcription work. Also teaches basic piano and guitar. He is familiar with the whole notation system, I'm not. But an old, long gone, friend of mine was an exceptional musican (played...

Great Day Had a great day at CALTECH, they had telescopes stu up and astronomers to talk to and, pictures, data and a fun time, the geeks enjoyed the public interest, expected 200 viewers and got 2,000+

Another way to do it Anther way to do it, DS & DIL are Burners (Burning man) and their tribe is gathering for a several day music festival near Austin TX, and to make good use of the eclipse, during the 4:20 min of darkness they will have blow out fireworks:dance:

Cybertruck parked near my house, looks interesting, not for me, I want a small EV the Bolt EV we have it the largest one I want, prefer something the size of the Fiat 500E or Smart EV, I expect the Chinese (Korean, Japanese?) will fill this void.

A few times when I was particularly moved or learned something I found important I sent a PM to the poster. Not a public thing but a way to communicate with the poster.

Maybe I 'learned' something from from stage4 throat cancer (survival gratitude?) but a lesson I wish I skipped.

I'll be getting one for sure, tired of daily and other time finger sticks. Was PreD (A1C 5.9) and cannot get a prescription from Dr. Managed to get blood glucose down via low carb diet an intermitent fasting but that seems less effective after a couple years. This could help a lot of people...

Many years ago had DSP/DRIPs and had the paper stock certificates issued to me and took those to my brokerage (Wells Fargo) and they transferred them into my WF account. Still have the NC shares at WF, so keep your cost info.

Interesting article in The Economist Magazine, says essentially the 'golden age' is over for the US: "....in ten years’ time nobody will be repeating the obvious conclusion of today: that investors in equities—especially American ones—have enjoyed a golden age" But bonds don't look so great (to...

Have run flat tires on DWs 2023 Bolt so no spare (does have a 'slime' kit. Satisfie with this for around town and that is where we drive it. If I 'upgrade' the tires I will have o think about a spare.

Will be going to NYC for 10 days in March, pretty much have always been in Manhattan and will be staying there again but would like to explore other parts of the city. I'm a city boy, grew up in Chicago, live near LA and lived in London so am comfortable with subways but know there are probably...

Ronald Md House has a good reputation but St. Jude's and Shriners Hospitals are known by me to be great institutions.
